I realized that, upon reading my post from last Friday, it must seem like Wee Laddie just watches German TV all day long. Relax… that’s not the case. KIKA (Kinderkanal…that’s Kids’ Channel to those of us who don’t speak German) doesn’t run commercials during these shows (not even PBS-type ones!), so it’s just back-to-back shows… and they usually run around 20 minutes each, including Sesamstrasse, which, for some reason, is much shorter here than in the US.
On the way to exercise class this morning, Wee Laddie was talking about “See Abbey?” Abbey, of course, is the girl who just left to move back to the States. So NOW he’s asking about her.
That poor kid is going to think there’s no such thing as stability. Especially when he learns that 2 of his other friends are leaving within the next few months, too.
We FINALLY got our “Signing Time” DVDs!! (Turns out they sent them to the wrong zip so the wrong base, although still in Germany. No idea why it took an extra full week!) I’ve been talking about them so much that Wee Laddie was also very excited when they came. We opened them up in the car and he held two of them on the way home. He really likes watching them, so I think it’s going to be such an awesome gift for him. (And they’ll sure help me out with that sign class we start next week!)
Just before the exit from the base, we saw a Chinook helicopter (those really huge ones with two big rotors, for those of you who aren’t sure) practicing on one of the helipads.
